Why the metal strip should be flat or wire be kink free in screw gauge?
if the strip will flat we can measure its thickness easily but if it is not flat i.e. its surface is irregular then it will thick only from some points and its other area will be thin and we cannot measure its thickness easily.same is the reason for wire.

Does electrey faster in thick wire or thin one?
The speed of an electric signal or current depends on the material, not on the thickness. In metal, it is usually about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum. On the other hand, a thin wire has a higher electrical resistance than a thick wire (other things being equal). But this does not affect the speed.
